Data Policy
The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to us. We therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of the legal provisions (GDPR, TKG 2003) and your voluntariness. In order to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation, we have created this privacy policy. In the following data protection information, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing within the scope of our website.
​
Collection and processing of data
The website operator or page provider automatically collects data about accesses to the homepage and stores them as "server log files". When you access our website, the web server automatically logs some data. This includes: Name of the retrieved file, date and time of the retrieval, amount of data transferred, message about successful retrieval, web browser and requesting domain. The collected data is only used for statistical analysis and to improve the website. However, the website operator reserves the right to subsequently check the server log files if there are concrete indications of illegal use.
We do not evaluate the data or pass it on to third parties. Further personal data is not collected on the blog. If you voluntarily provide us with personal data away from our homepage, for example as part of the registration form or a direct request by e-mail, we cannot guarantee secure transmission and the protection of your data. We recommend that you never transmit confidential data unencrypted by e-mail. Further information on the processing of this transmitted personal data can be found here.
​
Use and disclosure of personal data
Insofar as you transmit personal data to us, we will only use it to respond to your inquiries and to fulfill our contractual obligations. Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent. Stored personal data will be deleted if you revoke your consent to storage, if knowledge of the data is no longer required to fulfill the purpose for which it was stored, or if storage of the data is not permitted for other legal reasons.
​
Your rights
You are generally entitled to the rights of information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, revocation and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in some way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the data protection authority.
